    Mini Rex breeding question

    Ive searched high and low for an answer but haven't found one. My question is- if I breed a mini rex to another breed or to a mix, will I be able to breed the offspring to a rex and get rex kits? I know the original offspring will not have the rex fur.

    Won't lay in nest boxes.....

    My mother had this problem with her hens when they built the nesting boxes. I cane out to spend the day and decided to put the eggs in the boxes and then next day there were new eggs in them. :)

    Rooster disappeared

    Rooster disappeared

    Thank you! 99% sure it was not a dog. The house is on 5 acres and there is no one to the left (dense wooded 10 acres), no one behind, and the people to the right always have their gate closed. I didn't even think of foxes though.

    Rooster disappeared

    This event prompted me to join the site. I'll try to make a long story short and honestly I have no idea if anyone will have an answer for me. My husband and I are watching my mothers house, in punta gorda fl, she's has 6 hens and had a rooster. We usually lock the chickens in their coop at...
